It's been a while since I've had a real "date" date, where you have dinner and get to know each other, but when I did I'd usually pay.

It seems like there's this tradition that on dates, the man pays for everything. I like chivalry and all that good stuff, but that shit can get expensive. It's something I don't like, but I try to do reluctantly.

Well assuming we're doing something fairly standard (a meal or the like) and we both seem actually interested, not just going on a date for fun, then I pay, yeah. Feels right. Plus it weeds out feminazis quickly.

I don't get the 50:50 thing, why not just pay for whatever your meal costed?

It's kind of just something that happens.

Since guys like to treat the first time, girls will want to keep shit going and the guy interested and thus say "next one's on me!". The guy, in return, will do the same for the third date, and so forth.

Oh, I thought it was referring to one meal, like if one person gets something that's $5 and the other $15 then you both pay $10.
